Our CR approach

Coats is a growing business, operating on the ground in over 70 countries worldwide.

“Our global scale enables us to leverage our expertise and develop local market opportunities - therefore building closer relationships with our customers.  But the diversity and complexity of our operations bring their own challenges. Some of these relate to social or environmental issues unique to a particular country or location; others apply globally.  Either way, it is imperative that we understand our impact on society and manage our business responsibly wherever we operate.

Over the past year we have reviewed our approach to Corporate Responsibility (CR), have identified what is important to us as a business and have set some global action plans and targets to support sustainability across our business. Full detail is provided in this section of our corporate website.”
